Reporter’s Notebook: Anthee Carassava

Available for over a year

For decades, Greece has been insisting that the British Museum should return the Parthenon Marbles to Athens, accusing it of breaching world conventions. In recent days, the dispute took on new twist with the Greek government hammering the institution for arguing that it was a "creative act" to remove them and ship them to England centuries ago . In this week's Reporter's Notebook Anthee Carassava reports on the Greek government’s reaction and why the country sensitivities over the marbles have deepened in recent years.
